British Drag Racing Association

The British Drag Racing Association (BDRA) was formed in June 1964 by Sydney Allard,[1] a Ford motor dealer, hillclimbing, rally and circuit racing car driver. It later became the British Drag Racing Association & Hot Rod Association but reverted to BDRA in 1982.[2][3]

It opened the first permanent drag racing strip in the UK at Santa Pod, near Bedford in 1966.[4]
